New photos from April 23, 2012

 making our way home from lunch in the boonies, not really the road was right next to this trail, but both were made of dirt and this was a little faster

waiting to scare the other elders

weird fruit, think it made me sick but whatever

quite a few baptisms today, for for thhe zone in general, I had the opportunity to baptize Elena, to the right of me in the pic, shes the mom of one of our other investigators eden who i wrote home about before.. He needs to talk to president before he can get baptized but theyve been prepared by the Lord to recieve the gospel, really receptive

blessings of Brazil....ants bro, weve got ants

 favorite investigators right now, twins Wandel and Wendel, theyre hilarious and love talking about America...hence why they love me

 More ants, joy, I think I got bit by these ones before, not pretty

 All of the stuff here is just American knock offs, here you have frosted flakes but they call them snow flakes and throw a picture of a polar bear on there....but ironically most brazilians dont know what snow means, the word they use for snow is neve

Glorious keyboard for music in Sacrament meeting that I play everyweek, jerryrigged up to some speakers which you can see in the bottom left there of the pic. Those are my scriptures in their cases holding the hymn book open cause the wind likes to close it mid hymn

 Ill write more about this pic in the email today, but this is a picture of everyone, at least who was active and present at church this week, Presidente Dias was here this week and our little group here in Araguaina became an official branch of the church and group leader Irmao Joaking is now Presidente Lima, Legal! This photo might be in a future Liahona cause Presidente Dias has a similar photo, I dont know if Ill be in it though, it depends on which photo they used and I wasnt in all of them

Presidente Dias with the new priesthood leadership for Aragauina, really cool Sunday

Baptism of Trasibluho! Will never forget that, Will write about in email


Heres a taste of the number of scooters in this city, this is in front of one church last night on the way home, this is normal to see consistenly throughout the day in front of several different buildings, this town is like MarioKart N64 on scooters!

 Trying to fix the bathroom light, gotta love Brazil, thats one of my zone leaders Elder Vitor by the way, chaoskis!

 Current district posing after church, priesthood session of conference, at the house of member Joaking

 sitting 4 to a seat in the back of a tiny honda, cars here are half the size of in the state, being tall paid off I got the front, traveling to lunch!

walking in the weeds

Prices here are a bit weird, food is reeeaaallly cheap compared to the states but things like hot wheel cars are a fortune, for example this thing of 5 hot wheels cars if I remember right is like $7 in the states, but here is 51 reais which is quase $40! Ridiculous!

 Legal!
